Synopsis: |
The Army 2020 plan does not present a convincing blueprint for an Army that can effectively counter uncertain threats and unforeseen circumstances. The Defence Committee calls on the MoD to justify how the conclusion was reached that an Army of 82,000 Regulars and 30,000 Reserves represents the best way of countering future threats. The Army 2020 plan for Reaction and Adaptable Forces, including integrated Reservists, represents a radical vision for the future role and structure of the British Army. It departs significantly from the announcements made in Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010 and there are considerable doubts about how the plan was developed and tested, and whether it will meet the needs of the UK's national security. The report welcomes the measures in the Reserves White Paper and the Defence Reform Bill and recognises the support many employers have given to the Reserve Forces over many years. However the report concludes that it is too early to judge whether the measures in the White Paper and the Bill will prove effective in encouraging the recruitment of reserves and ensuring the support of businesses of all sizes in achieving Army 2020.The Committee calls on the Ministry of Defence to set out how it will assess the effectiveness of the measures and the timescale for deciding on whether further action and incentives are required. |
